Patrick Checking in to see how you're progressing and (hopefully) improving. I
Anecdotal input: I experienced excruciating pain in the mornings, straight out of bed, strongly correlated with the introduction of clipless (SPD) pedals. Very comfy shoes, very nice SPD road pedals. Tried multiple placement of clip location on the sole, with no improvement. Used to race and ride clipless for decades, Grant P convinced me to try otherwise, which I did, a couple decades ago, and no noticeable performance change, so stuck with it, until about a year and a half ago, when I thought I'd try them again. I felt your pain. Anecdotal remedy: We went on travel, no bikes, for a couple weeks. I was apprehensive of long walks, given the state of my (one) foot, and had only brought Birkenstocks, thinking I wouldn't be walking *that* much. Not happening. Walked nine miles in the Birkenstocks the first day, and pretty much the same most other days. Within a couple days, the pain was *completely* gone. Gone. I'm now riding flat pedals again, with Birkenstocks. Hey, they're lighter than bike shoes (about a half pound), breath great, and somewhere out there on the internet I recall a photo of Tom Ritchey touring through Europe on Birks. Again, wishing you recovery and as good a solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
